I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 120: His legs are weak

   At the weekend, in the eleventh round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon played against Maritimo at home.

   Peppa encounters his old club, partner Andrey Cruise start.

   Sudong, Ronnie and Quaresma are all sitting on the bench.

   Boloni’s external statement is also very open. The three young players performed well in the UEFA Cup midweek. They did their best and need more time to rest.

   But the result of the Trident resting is very embarrassing.

That was the misfire of Sporting Lisbon’s offense. It was not until the 60th minute that the team’s offense began to improve after being replaced by Quaresma, and Ronnie was replaced in the 74th minute, and continued. Strengthen the offense.

   Su Dong replaced Tonyto in the 81st minute and played with Nicolet as a double forward.

   The deadlock continued until the end of the game.

   In the eighty-ninth minute, a match from Sudong and Quaresma on the right side, Quaresma forced the ball into the penalty area, was blocked from the baseline, and turned into a corner kick.

   Albertini took a corner kick, Su Dong made a false shot, Pepe grabbed the spot and hit the goal with a header.

   The Brazilian central defender scored a goal that broke the deadlock when facing old club Maritimo.

   Then, the game entered overtime.

At the last moment, after Su Dong retraced once to get the ball, he suddenly accelerated to dribble in. At the front of the arc top of the penalty area, he suddenly shot a cold arrow and hit a vigorous Batty GOL, once again knocked on Maritimo's goal.

   Two to zero.

   The entire Alvalade stadium was cheering for Su Dong’s goal.

   Sporting Lisbon fans are more and more fond of the Chinese teenager who came out of his youth training camp.

Although, according to UEFA regulations, Su Dong is still not a youth player of Sporting Lisbon, and Su Dong has not even trained in the sports tower stadium, but the fans can ignore the regulations, they only know that Su Dong is a youth player. The children who came out of the training camp.

  ……

   After the game, media reporters once again gave a high evaluation of Su Dong's performance after coming off the bench.

   also has a trident in the front court.

   So a media reporter asked Boloni, "Since all three substitutions have been given a trident in the frontcourt, why not arrange for them to start?"

   There was a burst of laughter in the press conference hall.

   Three substitutions were given to Quaresma, Ronnie and Soto, and it was these three players who changed the trend of the game. In that case, why not just arrange the three of them to start?

   Boloni certainly heard the ridicule and sarcasm of the media reporters, but he still maintained his demeanor.

   The Romanian head coach said that they did not arrange for them to start, more because of physical consumption considerations.

"The ages of these three players are seventeen, eighteen and nineteen. At their age, many players are still playing on the bench. I can’t make the decision to let them play in two lanes and play in double matches a week. And don’t think it’s good for them."

   But this righteous remark, in the face of the fact that he suppressed Su Dong and unconditionally backed Nicolai, was somewhat eclipsed. After all, Nicolai played the whole game tonight and once again did nothing.

  …………

  …………

   A week later, the Portuguese Super League was suspended, ushering in the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.

   This is also the first Portuguese Cup for Sporting Lisbon this season.

   The opponent is an amateur team from the regional league, Estarea.

   Boloni did not pay too much attention to this game. The opponent's strength is there. Sporting Lisbon has a good sign and is playing at home. The team still plays on the bench.

   It's just that Nicolai made his first appearance again.

   Only two minutes into the game, Carlos Martins opened the scoring for Sporting Lisbon.

   But in the seventeenth minute, Estarea pulled back a goal.

   Five minutes later, Nikole finally scored.

   This is the Romanian center's first goal of the season.

   He was so excited that he galloped around the audience, venting his inner depression, and finally hugged the coach Boloni in front of the coach's bench to thank his compatriots for their unconditional trust in him for more than a year.

   But then, Nikole never scored again.

  Ronnie and Danny, who came on the bench, scored two goals in a row, helping Sporting Lisbon defeat their opponents four to one and advance smoothly.

  ……

   After promotion, Sporting Lisbon's signing is still good.

  The opponent in the fifth round is Olivia from the third level.

   After the game, the Portuguese media reported Nicolet’s goal.

   The Romanian center used to be highly anticipated. As a result, he has survived in the shadow of Jadel last season, but this season he has not been able to break the scoring drought. Now he finally scored in a regional league amateur team.

   "In fact, even in the face of an amateur team from the regional league, his goal is still very difficult."

  The implication is that Nicolai wasted too many scoring opportunities.

  …………

  …………

   After playing the Portuguese Cup, Sporting Lisboa has been preparing non-stop for the first leg of the UEFA Cup away game.

  The opponent is Thessaloniki from Greece.

   Su Dong is not only on the list of the 18th National People's Congress, but also will be scheduled to start.

   But this time, he finally experienced the nightmare of an away game in the European War.

   The voyage between Portugal and Greece is 2,500 kilometers, which is undoubtedly a long journey.

   But this is just the beginning.

   There is no direct flight from Portugal to Greece, so you must make a stopover, or Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Munich...

  In order to hurry up, Sporting Lisbon prepared a flight to Amsterdam for the team. The entire voyage took more than eight hours. When it arrived in the Greek capital, Athens, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

   After staying in Athens for one night, he flew to Thessaloniki in the north the next day.

   Not only that, for the weekend's game, Sporting Lisbon had to fly back to Lisbon non-stop after playing away. It also had to travel long distances and toss back and forth.

   When it was actually on the playing field, all the talents found that the long journey had exhausted their energy.

   Including Sudong, Ronnie and Quaresma, as well as Nicolet, who came on the bench, all performed sluggishly.

   Fortunately, Sporting defensively did a good job, but in the 51st minute, the opponent's striker broke the goal, and the away game was zero to one.

   Throughout the game, the three of Su and Dong were in a sluggish performance, and they really couldn't lift their energy.

  ……

   "I now finally understand why they all say that the most terrible enemy in a European game is not the opponent on the pitch, but the long journey."

   On the returning plane, Ronnie said with a sad face.

   Not long after the game started, his legs became weak.

   "Who said no?" Quaresma also felt very broken. "This is only Greece. If you encounter Turkey, or Georgia, Azerbaijan, and so on to the east, it will be even more terrifying."

   Su Dong smiled bitterly, but thought of another piece of news.

"Don't forget, there is a more eastern Kazakhstan. They just left the AFC in April and officially became the 52nd UEFA member state in July. They will meet in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup in the future. ."

   At the end, Su Dong couldn't help being happy.

   Although it was a loss, in fact, Thessaloniki's strength is not strong, mainly because the away game is too difficult.

   After turning the plane twice, I won't talk about it. The distance is still very long and the conditions are very poor, which makes the players unbearable.

   The main reason is that Sporting Lisbon is too poor. If you are like other local teams, you can charter flights directly.

   For one thing, there was no money. Secondly, it took only half a month from the draw result to the away game. It is difficult for the club to prepare in all aspects. It is conceivable that the players have suffered so much along the way.

   However, after returning home to recharge, the second round of the Lisbon Battle, it was the opponent's turn to have a nightmare.

  …………

  …………

   The long journey and back and forth not only affected the UEFA Cup first round match, but also affected the derby in the Portuguese Super League.

   In the twelfth round, Sporting Lisbon faced Benfica, a rival in the same city.

   The team performance is still sluggish.

   In the twelfth minute of the first half, the team's defense made a mistake and conceded a goal first.

   In the forty-second minute, Thiago scored another goal to help Benfica lead two to zero.

   Su Dong came off the bench in the 54th minute, but his performance was not outstanding and he failed to help the team turn the situation around.

   Finally, in this same city derby, Sporting Lisbon lost to Benfica zero to two.

  ……

   Regarding the results of the team's two-game losing streak, whether it is the media, fans, or the management of the club, they all understand.

The team traveled a long distance to play away games, and the consumption and pressure were indeed very high. After returning to Lisbon, Benfica immediately ushered in. The team could only conduct an afternoon of recovery training the day before the game~www.wuxiahere.com~ Nothing at all Time to prepare and adjust.

   Instead, it was Benfica, who had recharged in Lisbon, waiting for his rivals in the same city.

   One loses the other, and it's normal to lose.

   However, in an interview with the Morning Post, Su Dong said that he was not worried about the state of the team at all.

   "I know that the two-game losing streak is really unacceptable, but the trip to Greece did have a very big impact on us."

   Su Dong actively mentioned his discomfort. He spent a whole week running back and forth, unable to maintain even normal training. This is undoubtedly quite uncomfortable, and it is also the cause of the team's downturn.

   "In the next week, we can have a good rest. The team will have two days off. I believe that this will help us get back to our state as soon as possible and achieve better results in the next few games."

   As for the UEFA Cup vs. Thessaloniki at home, Sudong said confidently, "We will definitely reverse our opponents!"

  …………

  …………

   As expected, after a week of rest, Sporting Lisbon’s performance has indeed improved a lot.

   But in the thirteenth round, when he challenged Bellamar away, just seven minutes into the opening, Pepe's error caused the opponent's goal, and the game ended in a deadlock.

   Sudong came off the bench at the halftime, and in the 54th minute, assisted Nicolai to score.

   Two minutes later, Nicolai retaliated and sent an assist for Su Dong.

   The two centers finally broke the embarrassing situation of not violating the river, and each assisted the other.

   In the 79th minute, Ronnie assisted Tonyto for another victory.

   In the end, Sporting Lisbon reversed Belamar three to one, taking all three points.
